Life is freakin hard & God is immutably good. Interesting paradox. Makes for a complicated story, a heart as deep as the waters, a sorrowful countenance, a joyful heart, a grief of alienation, and a sore aching and longing that the world and all of it’s inhabitants cannot satisfy. It drives the soul into this [...]

Drafted from listening to piper. So, these are mostly his original thoughts. Most of bitterness and anger unforgiveness is rooted n an inability to be profoundly amazed at Christ’s love for us in His sacrificial death for our sin, including the bitterness and anger. The solution is not in fixing the person who has sinned [...]

God’s moral purity and infinite hatred of sin, serves to magnify our impurity. And when we see this, we will cry out as Isaiah did, n dismay, rendering ourselves undone, against the other majesty of God. And yet we’re called to holiness and purity as He is holy and pure. It’s humanly impossible. Whether a [...]

The reality is this, as a child, no one originally taught me how to do bad, how to be bad. There was something innately within that insisted on leaning towards “no” whenever authority I.e. Mom and dad said “yes”. And honestly, I loved it! This rush of joy in striving to be this independent person, [...]

Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Psalms 119:49 Whatever your especial need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it.

There are “certain times” for a woman when it it seems especially true that the heart is wicked and deceitful above all things. When the intensity of feelings almost seem objectively true. The war for a sober mind, a quiet heart/mind, and steadfast trust n her Lord is overwhelming. In weariness She may question her [...]

Amazing Grace is what I would say marks the journey of Steven and me. Only grace has kept us and only grace will continue to. I have shared our story many times throughout the months, either verbally, as I recount the highs and deep lows, and I have shared our story as I live amongst [...]
